| And I’ve heard it all before
|
| Let’s take 'em back to the old school
|
| So here we go again, so here we go again
|
| It’s just me and my friend
|
| Yo, check one, two
|
| Yes yes y’all in the place to be, hey
|
| Hey all I need is two turn tables and a microphone for this one Mr. DJ
|
| Holler at the break dancers and the graffiti artists to do they thang
|
| And let me be the MC
|
| Here we go, true story, maan
|
| I met this girl when I was twelve years old
|
| And what I like about her she has so much soul
|
| It was around the time I first heard LL
|
| N.W.A., the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
|
| She was born around the same time I was born
|
| So it was meant to be, 'cause she got it going on
|
| When we first met, it was love of the first sight
|
| Like an angel, she took me from the dark to the light
|
| She started in New York and I started in Jeddah
|
| So I wrote her a letter saying I wanna get witcha
|
| In the early 90s, I got to know her better
|
| The type of girl, that’s down for whatever
|
| She had a mood swing though kinda like me
|
| And she got a job working for the music industry |
| So I said me too, 'cause I wanna do that
|
| I guess we’re stuck with each other and that’s a matter of fact
|
| 'cause I
|
| Been around the world
|
| I got to see so many places, faces and races
|
| And I’ve heard it all before
|
| Yeah, so here we go again
|
| It will never ever change
|
| It would always be the same
|
| It’s just me and my friend
|
| We went on tour together, did shows together
|
| Radio and TV interviews together
|
| Magazine covers, and newspaper headlines
|
| 'cause we like the spotlight, and the way it shines
|
| She’s very expressive with her street knowledge
|
| Ebonical slang, she didn’t have to go to college
|
| 'Cause she’s a teacher, and I’m her student
|
| And when I graduate, I’ma teach fluent all her elements;
|
| History, versatility
|
| 'Cause what we have is more than just a chemistry
|
| And I wanted to impress her with my style
|
| Little did I know her middle name is versatile
|
| Djing, Mcing, Graffiti and Breaking
|
| So much in common, there is no mistaking
|
| Every where I go I see her and hear her
|
| When I’m alone I feel her and read her so I right! |
| Been around the world
|
| I got to see so many places, faces and races
|
| And I’ve heard it all before
|
| Yeah, so here we go again
|
| It will never ever change
|
| It would always be the same
|
| It’s just me and my friend
|
| Together forever 'til the end
|
| Now she’s international and universal
|
| Worldwide exposure, you see her in commercials
|
| Constantly changing, sometimes I don’t approve
|
| But I can’t knock her hustle, 'cause she’s making moves
|
| She might sold out with few things she’s faking
|
| If I don’t like it I don’t like it, doesn’t mean that I’m hating
|
| But that’s the way it is, she gets funky with it
|
| I can’t resist a single minute man
|
| She could be down with the gangstas
|
| The voice of the streets, the power, the people, the words the beats
|
| Awareness, conscious, class, ghetto
|
| Underground, mainstream, hardcore, mellow
|
| We both had purpose that’s why we were conceived
|
| But we both were distracted by what we see
|
| It’s kinda like a love hate relationship but I still love her
|
| And that’s it hip hop
|
| Been around the world
|
| I got to see so many places, faces and races |
| And I’ve heard it all before
|
| Yeah, so here we go again
|
| It will never ever change
|
| It would always be the same
|
| It’s just me and my friend
|
| Hip hop and I
|
| Together forever 'til the end
|
| It ain’t nuttin like hip hop music |
